Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to secure a title with Al Nasser. On Friday night, his team suffered another setback, losing the Saudi Cup final to Al Hilal. The match ended 1-1 after 120 minutes, and Al Hilal clinched the victory with a 5-4 win in the penalty shootout. The heartbroken Portuguese star's reaction was the main talking point after the game.
After Al Nasser missed their seventh and final penalty, Ronaldo collapsed on the grass, visibly distressed and in tears. His teammates and staff tried to console him, but the disappointment was evident. During the match, Ronaldo had been denied a goal by the crossbar with a spectacular scissor kick. There was also criticism on social media for his decision to take the second penalty in the shootout.
Despite the heartbreak, Al Nasser's CEO confirmed that Ronaldo will remain with the team next season. Reports have surfaced suggesting that the Portuguese forward is in discussions to extend his contract until 2025.
